-NOTE-
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised
test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assess-
ment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if
the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission
may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the
level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working peri-
od. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the
tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
Sound and vibration information (in accordance with EN 60745):
Typical A-weighted sound power level: 85 dB (A)
Typical A-weighted emission sound pressure level: 74 dB (A)
For the given sound power level as per EN 60745, the tolerance is 3 dB.

5. Safety rules
5.1 General safety rules
-WARNING- Read all instructions! Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all
of the warnings listed below refers to your mains oper-
ated (corded) power tool or batter y operated (cord-
less) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
5.1.1 Work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operat -
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
5.1.2 Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way . Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmod-
ified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car -
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord approved for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
5.1.3 Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before plugging in. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust related hazards.
5.1.4 Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct pow-
er tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
er tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5.1.5 Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before insert-
ing batter y pack. Inserting the batter y pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
b) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
Printed: 07.07.2013 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5070680 / 000 / 00
15
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
c) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
d) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that
can make a connection from one terminal to anoth-
er. Shorting the batter y terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid eject-
ed from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5.1.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only genuine replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
5.2 Additional safety precautions
5.2.1 Personal safety
a)Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
b)Avoid contact with rotating parts. Switch the tool
on only once it has been brought into the working
position close to the workpiece. Touching rotating
parts, especially rotating drill bits, discs or blades,
etc., may lead to injury.
c) Breathing protection must be worn when the tool
is used without a dust removal system for work
that creates dust.
d)Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry the tool
with your finger on the on / off switch. Use the trans-
port safety switch (forward / reverse switch in the
middle position) when the tool is not in use, dur-
ing pauses between work, before maintenance,
when changing bits and during transport.
e)Operate the tool only as directed and only when it
is in faultless condition.
f) Do not carry the tool by the depth gauge (the snap-
lock connection may release unexpectedly).
g)Wear protective gloves when changing insert tools.
The insert tool may become hot during use.
h)The tool is not intended for use by children, by debil-
itated persons or those who have received no instruc-
tion or training.
i) Children must be instructed not to play with the tool.
j) Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be harm-
ful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause
allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the
operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are clas-
sified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust
especially in conjunction with additives for wood con-
ditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material
containing asbestos must only be treated by spe-
cialists. Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used. To achieve a high level of
dust collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner of
the type recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or
mineral dust together with this tool. Ensure that the
workplace is well ventilated. The use of a dust mask
of filter class P2 is recommended. Follow national
requirements for the materials you want to work
with.
5.2.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold
the workpiece in place. The workpiece is thus held
more securely than by hand and both hands remain
free to operate the tool.
b) Ensure that the insert tools used are equipped with
the appropriate connection end system and that
they are properly fitted and secured in the chuck.
c) Holdtoolbyinsulatedgrippingsurfaceswhenper-
forming an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
5.2.3 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g.
with a metal detector) to ensure that no concealed
electric cables or gas and water pipes are present.
External metal parts of the tool may become live if,
for example, an electric cable is damaged inadvertenly .
This presents a serious risk of electric shock.
5.2.4 Work area
a)
Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
Poorly ventilated workplaces may be injurious to
the health due to exposeure to dust.
5.2.5 Personal protective equipment
The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear suitable eye protection and protective gloves when
the tool is in use. Breathing protection must be worn
if no dust removal system is used.
Wear eye Wear protective Wear breathing
protection gloves protection
5.2.6 Battery tool use and care
a)Use only the batteries listed in these operating
instructions (see section 6).
b)Ensure that the outer surfaces of the battery are clean
and dr y before inserting it in the corresponding
charger.
c)Check that the battery is securely attached to the
tool. A falling battery could injure you or other persons.
Printed: 07.07.2013 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5070680 / 000 / 00

d)The batteries must be disposed of correctly on reach-
ing the end of their life (see section 10).
e)Do not charge or continue to use damaged batter-
ies (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts, bent
or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
6. Before use
1. It is essential that the safety precautions printed in
these operating instructions are read and observed.
2. A new battery must be charged correctly for the first
time before use:
– charged normally for 24 hours with the SFC 7/8 H
charger, or
– charged for 12 hours using the conditioning func-
tion of the SFC 7/18, C7/24, C7/36-ACS or TCU 7/36
charger. This will ensure that the cells form cor-
rectly. Incorrect initial charging may have a perma-
nent, negative effect on battery capacity.
Additional instructions
– The tool may be used only with SFB 180 or SFB 185
batteries.
– Battery performance drops at low temperatures.
– Batteries should be stored at room temperature.
– Never store batteries where they are exposed to the
heat of the sun, on a radiator, behind a motor vehicle
windscreen or at a window.
– Never use the battery until the cells become fully dis-
charged. Change to the second battery as soon as a
drop in performance is noticed and recharge the bat-
tery immediately so that it is ready for re-use.
– Use bits with a standard

Remove any dirt adhering to the surface of the insert
tools and protect them from corrosion by rubbing them
with an oily cloth from time to time.
8.2 Care of the tool
Before cleaning, remove the battery from the tool in
order to prevent inadvertent starting.
-CAUTION-
Keep the power tool, especially its grip surfaces,
clean and free from oil and grease. Do not use clean-
ing agents which contain silicone.
The outer casing of the tool is made from impactre-
sistant plastic. Sections of the grip are made from a
synthetic rubber material. Never operate the tool when
the ventilation slots are blocked. Clean the ventilation
slots carefully using a dr y brush. Do not permit for-
eign objects to enter the interior of the tool. Clean the
outside of the tool at regular intervals with a slightly
damp cloth. Do not use a spray , steam pressure clean-
ing equipment or running water for cleaning. This may
negatively affect the electrical safety of the tool.
8.3 Maintenance
Check all external parts of the tool for damage at reg-
ular intervals and check that all controls operate fault-
lessly. Do not operate the tool when parts are damaged
or when the controls do not operate faultlessly. If nec-
essary, have the tool repaired at a Hilti service centre.
Electrical parts of the tool may be repaired only by
trained electrical specialists.
8.4 Care of the battery
Keep the electrical contacts free from dust, oil and
grease. If necessary, use a clean cloth to clean the con-
tact surfaces.
Do not operate the tool until the battery is completely
discharged as this may damage the battery cells.
Recharge the battery as soon as a drop in performance
is noticed.
At monthly inter vals or, at the latest, when battery
capacity drops significantly, the battery should be con-
ditioned as follows:
– by charging with the SFC 7/8 H charger for 24 hours
in normal charging mode, or
– by charging with the SFC 7/18, C7/24, C7/36-ACS
or TCU 7/36 charger for 12 hours in conditioning
mode.
If, after conditioning, battery capacity is still unsatis-
factory, we recommend returning the batter y to Hilti
for diagnosis.
8.5 Checking the tool after care and maintenance
After carrying out care and maintenance work on the
tool, check that all protective and safety devices are fit-
ted and that they function faultlessly.
